Retail Asia – Background Music Puts Customers In The Mood For Shopping
Background music and scent marketing synergise beautifully in the retail environment, creating a 360-degree sensory environment in which the brand can live, breathe and function.
People no longer just buy products. They buy brands.
Increasingly they also buy experiences.
Brands must deliver at every customer touchpoint – not just through advertising campaigns, public relations or look good in social media.

The telephone is one of the most frequently used and most important brand touchpoints. However, callers are often disappointed or frustrated when they try to reach a company by telephone. Their experience simply doesn’t match the glossy print ads and TV commercials.
For even great brands, this can be a point of vulnerability. It’s a major reason why customers switch brands and one of the most effective ways of eroding hard-won brand equity.
Well-designed telephone on-hold experiences retain more callers and well constructed Call Automation systems allow callers to get the response they want quickly and efficiently, enhancing customer satisfaction.
Enhancer provides callers with brand-aligned music and interlaced messages.
Your customers will hear messages voiced by International and Asian, professional radio and television presenters. The result is a positive and enjoyable on-hold telephone experience.
Content can be scheduled to suit specific requirements for time and day of the week, and updated to meet tactical messaging requirements for particular food and beverage outlets or spa programmes.
A properly functioning IVR system allows you to enhance customer satisfaction, improve customer loyalty, up-sell and cross-sell services and improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of your contact centre.
Your IVR should enable your customers to do business with you in a way that reflects your brand and your values.
For most businesses, IVR is the most important touchpoint with their customers, and most people hate using it – but not for long!
